A book shelf is 3 1/2 feet long. Each book on the shelf is 5/8 inches wide. How many books will fit on the shelf?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: first convert 3 and 1/2 to imporoper
3 and 1/2=6/2+1/2=7/2 feet
convert to inches
7/2 times 12=84/2=42 inches

k so

total space used=number of books times space each book uses
total space possible=42
space each book uses=5/8
so
42=numberofbooks times 5/8
multiply both sides by 8/5 to clera fraction (5/8 times 8/5=40/40=1)
336/5=number of books
67.2=number of books
since you cannot fit 0.2 book (besides being useless or very small), we round down
67 books

Total 41/50 fraction or 82% part of turkey was eaten.

What is a fraction?

A fraction is a numeral that represents a rational number.

Let a and b be two numbers, then their fraction can be represented as a/b.

Given that,

Fraction of turkey eaten by Uncle Bill  = 1/4,

Percentage of turkey  eaten by Chris = 15%,

Part of turkey eaten by Timmy = 0.3 or 3/10,

Percentage of turkey eaten by Dave = 12%.

To find the fraction of turkey that was eaten,

Convert percentage into fraction

Since, percentage of turkey  eaten by Chris = 15%,

Fraction value of turkey eaten by Chris = 3/20

Also, percentage of turkey eaten by Dave = 12%.

Fraction value of turkey eaten by Dave = 3/25

Total fraction of turkey that was eaten = 1/4+3/20+3/10+3/25

                                              = (25+15+30+12)/100

                                               = 82/100

                                               = 41/50

41/50 faction of turkey was eaten.

What is 7/9 divided by 2 13/18

Answers

7/9 divided by 2 13/18 is 2/7
hoped this helps

Final answer:

To divide 7/9 by 2 13/18, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction, then multiply the fractions and simplify. The result is 42/141.

Explanation:

To divide 7/9 by 2 13/18, we need to convert the mixed number 2 13/18 into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator of the fraction (18) and add the numerator (13). This gives us 47. So, 2 13/18 can be written as the improper fraction 47/18.

Now, we can divide 7/9 by 47/18. We multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction (flip the numerator and denominator). So, (7/9) ÷ (47/18) becomes (7/9) × (18/47).

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. This gives us (7/9) × (18/47) = (7 × 18) / (9 × 47) = 126/423.

Lastly, we can simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor. The GCD of 126 and 423 is 3. Dividing both numerator and denominator by 3 gives us the simplified answer: 42/141.
